Italian to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Construction / Civil Engineering / Construction specifications
Italian term or phrase: soglie
In a list of works to be performed by the contractor is:

"posa in opera di soglie sulle murature perimetrali"

How should soglie be translated here? As sills? Threshold? Or is there some other technical word?

Thanks !
